SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Principal Campaign Committees
All principal campaign committees of candidates who participate in
the California Special Primary and Special General Elections shall file
a 12-day Pre-Primary Report on May 26, 2022; a 12-day Pre-General
Report on October 27, 2022; and a 30-day Post-General Report on

report.)
Note that these reports are in addition to the campaign committee's
regular quarterly filings. (See charts below for the closing date for
each report.)
Unauthorized Committees (PACs and Party Committees)
Political committees not filing monthly are subject to special
election reporting if they make previously undisclosed contributions or
expenditures in connection with the California Special Primary or
Special General Elections by the close of books for the applicable
report(s). (See charts below for the closing date for each report.)
Committees filing monthly that make contributions or expenditures
in connection with the California Special Primary or Special General
Elections will continue to file according to the monthly reporting
schedule.
Additional disclosure information for the California special
elections may be found on the FEC website at <a href="https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/dates-and-deadlines/">https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/dates-and-deadlines/</a>.
Disclosure of Lobbyist Bundling Activity
Principal campaign committees, party committees and leadership PACs
that are otherwise required to file reports in connection with the
special elections must simultaneously file FEC Form 3L if they receive
two or more bundled contributions from lobbyists/registrants or
lobbyist/registrant PACs that aggregate in excess of the lobbyist
bundling threshold during the special election reporting periods. (See
charts below for closing date of each period.) 11 CFR 104.22(a)(5)(v),
(b), 110.17(e)(2), (f).
The lobbyist bundling disclosure threshold for calendar year 2021
was $19,300. This threshold amount may change in 2022 based upon the
annual cost of living adjustment (COLA). As soon as the adjusted
threshold amount is available, the Commission will publish it in the
Federal Register and
[[Page 3538]]
post it on its website. 11 CFR 104.22(g) and 110.17(e)(2).

\1\ The reporting period always begins the day after the closing date of the last report filed. If the committee
is new and has not previously filed a report, the first report must cover all activity that occurred before
the committee registered as a political committee up through the close of books for the first report due.
\2\ Notice that this filing deadline falls on a weekend or federal holiday. Filing deadlines are not extended
when they fall on nonworking days. Accordingly, reports filed by methods other than registered, certified or
overnight mail, or electronically, must be received before the Commission's close of business on the last
business day before the deadline.
Dated: January 18, 2022.
On behalf of the Commission.
